"Now, researchers from Australia’s RMIT University and national science agency CSIRO have shown that a new method can extend the lifetime of quantum batteries by 1,000 times compared to previous demonstrations.

Quantum batteries are largely relegated to theory and lab experiments.

These devices use quantum superposition and interactions between electrons and photons, particles of light, to store and release energy. In theory, this could lead to batteries that charge extremely quickly and can even charge from ambient room light.

Conventional batteries, on the other hand, rely on chemical reactions to charge.

The new milestone, detailed in a paper published in the journal PRX Energy, is a step toward working quantum batteries.

'While we’ve addressed a tiny ingredient of the overall piece, our device is already much better at storing energy than its predecessor,' says co-author Daniel Tibben, a PhD candidate at RMIT.

Previous lab experiments of quantum batteries were plagued by rapid discharge where the batteries would leak stored energy almost as fast as the device charged.

Tibben and colleagues built 5 test devices which charged best when 2 energy levels inside atoms were aligned perfectly.

Their quantum batteries hold charge for microseconds (millionths of a second), or about a thousand times better than the nanosecond (billionth of a second) storage time of the previous record holding devices.

'While a working quantum battery could still be some time away, this experimental study has allowed us to design the next iteration of devices,' says co-author Daniel Gómez, a chemical physicist at RMIT. 'It’s hoped one day quantum batteries could be used to improve the efficiency of solar cells and power small electronic devices.'

'Australia is leading the way in experimental quantum battery research and this work is a significant advancement,' says co-author James Quach, Science Leader of CSIRO’s Quantum Batteries Team."

Tl;dr : surprising claim that interpretations of quantum mechanics Bohm&Copenhagen are now distinguishable experimentally is making the rounds

The news keep popping up, including in reputable sources like @Spektrumverlag
(spektrum.de/news/bohmsche-mech, paywall), that the Bohmian "interpretation" of Quantum Mechanics is being challenged by an experiment.

Conventional wisdom is that where they apply, these interpretations are empirically the same. This would exclude the possibility of such an experimental distinction.
Since Bohmian mechanics, which features deterministic evolution of point particles guided by the wave function, does not have a straighforward extension to quantum electrodynamics, and the experiment in question deals with photons, this might be a source of confusion. This article:

physicsworld.com/a/new-experim

seems to suggest that the researchers use the hidden variables, namely that Bohmian particle positions, to calculate some quantities directly, which seems dubious. Has anyone looked at this more closely already and can tell us where the loophole or error is?

Harmonic Resonance Computing: Harnessing the Fundamental Frequencies of Reality for a Novel Computational Paradigm
doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1583381

ZenodoHarmonic Resonance Computing: Harnessing the Fundamental Frequencies of Reality for a Novel Computational ParadigmThe dominant approach to developing quantum computing systems, fundamentally rooted in a conceptual framework inherited from classical physics, fails to accurately represent the intrinsic nature of quantum reality. This methodology models quantum phenomena predominantly as discrete, isolated particles or “qubits,” thereby overlooking their inherently interconnected, dynamic, and field-theoretic character. Focusing on individual, separable entities fundamentally drives contemporary qubit-based architectures into direct conflict with the universe’s foundational principles, manifesting as profound technical hurdles: extreme vulnerability to environmental noise, rapid degradation of quantum coherence (decoherence), and excessive demands for error correction. These substantial obstacles are not merely engineering challenges amenable to incremental refinement; they are direct, unavoidable consequences of attempting to impose a discrete, localized, and static conceptual model onto a reality more accurately described by continuous field dynamics, perpetual transformation, and emergent resonant patterns. Achieving viable, scalable quantum computation necessitates a profound paradigm shift in both foundational ontology and engineering design. Computation must be understood not as operations performed upon distinct physical entities, but as an emergent property of dynamic, interacting frequency fields—the fundamental resonant structures that intrinsically constitute the physical universe. By embracing this frequency-based ontology and designing systems that operate in resonant alignment with the native principles governing physical reality, it becomes possible to fundamentally circumvent the immense technical barriers inherent in particle-centric systems, potentially unlocking unprecedented computational power, stability, and elegance.

Andrej Karpathy: „Software Is Changing (Again)“

Andrej Karpathy’s video discusses the evolution of software from Software 1.0 (traditional code) to Software 2.0 (neural networks), now moving into Software 3.0 with Large Language Models (LLMs). He likens LLMs to new types of computers, programmable with natural language, and […]
